FANTASTIC BEASTS AND WHERE TO FIND THEM............meh. Harry potter fans don't throw tomatoes at me!! The movie could have been quite good for the first in a series but there was an 'off' quality to it for me. I sure didn't appreciate the director because he/she needed to 'tighten' it up a bit and move the action along at a better clip. I thought Eddie Redmayne was excellent in THE THEORY OF EVERYTHING but I am not a fan at all. He mumbled his lines and his mouth makes me crazy. Shallow much? Another shallow thingie....Colin Farrell was beyond gorgeous. Yum Believe it or not, Johnny Depp may be in the next 4 films in the series. Please no!! I can't say more because it would spoil the end....but ewwww.

I have purposely avoided most Oscar nominated films because they sound soooooooooooooooo depressing. I did try to see HIDDEN FIGURES but it was always sold out I felt obligated to see LA LA LAND with a girlfriend. Am I a bad person for saying that I didn't care for it? I like Emma Stone but she didn't deserve the Oscar for her performance in this IMHO. I was thinking about seeing MOONLIGHT but I read some of 'user' reviews on imDB and now I may not watch when it comes on cable!
